Family of dinoflagellates (algae)
Symbiodiniaceae is a family of marine dinoflagellates notable for their symbiotic associations with reef-building corals ,[ 1] sea anemones ,[ 2] jellyfish ,[ 3] marine sponges ,[ 4] giant clams ,[ 5] acoel flatworms ,[ 6] and other marine invertebrates. Symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae are sometimes colloquially referred to as Zooxanthellae , though the latter term can be interpreted to include other families of symbiotic algae as well.[ 7] While many Symbiodiniaceae species are endosymbionts, others are free living in the water column or sediment.[ 8]
Most symbiotic members of Symbiodiniaceae were previously assigned to the genus Symbiodinium ; however, recent genetic analysis has led to a taxonomic reorganization with several former members of Symbiodinium (previously "clades") reassigned to new genera within the Symbiodiniaceae family.[ 9] Species formerly classified within Symbiodinum Clade A are retained in the Symbiodinium genus.
